Attack from Mars is a Bally pinball machine released in 1995 and designed by George Gomez. Its science-fiction theme presents a comic-style Martian invasion, with players defending Earth by targeting flying saucers and alien forces.

help Attack from Mars FAQ

When was Attack from Mars released and who designed it?

The Bally table was released in 1995 and is commonly credited primarily to Brian Eddy, with George Gomez involved in the broader design team. It uses a comic-book invasion theme rather than a licensed film property.

What does the flying saucer do in Attack from Mars?

The flying saucer is the table’s main interactive toy and must be attacked after players lower or disable its force field. Successful saucer shots advance the Martian invasion objectives and lead toward larger scoring modes.

What is the sequel to Attack from Mars?

Revenge from Mars followed in 1999 under the Bally label. It used Williams’s Pinball 2000 platform, which combined a physical playfield with projected or reflected video targets.

How does Attack from Mars differ from a movie-based pinball table?

It uses an original comic-style Mars invasion story with exaggerated martians, cows, and saucers instead of scenes licensed from a film. That gives the rules more freedom to build around arcade humor and physical targets rather than reproducing a fixed movie plot.
